Nick Krolldealt with a pretty eventful trip to the Venice Film Festival.
Appearing onLate Night with Seth Meyers, Kroll opened up about how his toddler son came to cause some serious headaches for actorBrendan Fraserover the weekend.
TheDon’t Worry Darlingactor traveled to the event with wifeLily Kwongand their 20-month-old son Leo, taking the “red-eye” from New York.
“Your worst nightmare is that you fly with a child and your child is going to be loud and unpleasant on a plane,” Kroll explained, noting that the nightmare came true. A number of passengers on the plane offered help, but Leo was inconsolable and “screaming for almost the entire red-eye. He will not fall asleep.”
“We land in Venice and this guy gets off the plane, he’s wearing a seersucker suit and a Panama hat – like a proper Italian Mafia boss. He is not happy about [my kid crying for the entire flight],” he continued.
“I get to baggage claim, I realize it’s not a Mafia boss. It’s Brendan Fraser, and he’s so pissed.”

It wasn’t the last time that weekend the family would hear about Fraser or even encounter him. Later on, Kroll told actressNatasha Lyonneabout his son’s antics on the flight, only to find out she’d heard about the incident already.
“I said ‘my kid cried a bunch’ and she was like ‘that wasyourkid on the plane?! We find out that Brendan Fraser has been talking about how much my son was crying on the plane, so he couldn’t get a good night’s sleep. I felt terrible, it’s your worst nightmare,” he revealed.
The icing on the cake came after the screening of Fraser’s filmThe Whale, at which point he was honored in an 8-minute standing ovation.
